Set Up

This activity should take place in an enclosed area or areas that has clearly marked
boundaries. Also, when introducing the activity, make sure to touch on safety and personal
boundaries.

Directions

Participants should be organized into groups of 3. One person will start out as
the “Remote Control” while the other two are designated robots. Participants can take turns
in order to play both roles. The Remote Control stands in between the 2 robots and can
control robot movements.

Robots are controlled by the following directions:

Pat on Head: Stop/Go

Pat on Back: Turn Around (180°)

Pat on Left Shoulder: Turn Left (90°)

Pat on right shoulder: Turn Right (90°)

When robots collide, each robot should sound a different “warning call”. Also, if a robot
collides with another robot, object or boundary, he or she must march in place until his or
her remote control gives new instructions.
